Revised Departmental Firewall Guidelines Available Now

In February 2004, the Departmental Firewall Guidelines and Procedures document, originally developed by the Firewall Workgroup and released in October 2003, was revised. Departmental LAN administrators who are preparing to employ a departmental firewall will find information regarding the implications of using a department firewall, typical network architectural alternatives for firewall use, estimated firewall costs, procedures for implementation of department firewall and suggested firewall rules. The revised Departmental Firewall Guidelines and Procedures PDF is available via the Computer and Network Security Campus Security Spotlight or go directly to http://security.ucdavis.edu/FWProcs.pdf.
